On a visit to Bangalore, where Hamilton,met fans ahead of next monthâs inaugural Indian Grand Prix, the Briton spoke of his plans for the rest of the season.

âFor me now itâs just to find my ground and improve on the results that weâve had in the last four races,â said the 2008 world champion.

âJensonâs done an incredible job… I feel heâs done a better job all season, really. So even if I did a better job in the next five races it doesnât mean a lot to me. I mean, itâs through a whole year.â

Hamilton has been dogged by controversy this year after numerous collisions while trying to pass his rivals, the latest in Singapore at the weekend which resulted in a pit-side row with Massa.

âI was able to just ignore it and move on,â Hamilton said of the bust up, adding that he still had a lot of respect for the Ferrari driver.
